Solution

The plant parts like root, stem, and leaves are called vegetative parts because they have the power of growing asexually without getting involved in the process of reproduction. These do not contain any germ cells (sexually reproducing cells) but still are capable of giving rise to young plants by vegetative propagation. New shoot and root germinate from nodes and adventitious buds. Plants raised by vegetative propagation can bear
flowers and fruits earlier than those produced from seeds
